Additional Information

Dizziness accounts for 5.6 million clinic visits a year in the US. Benign paroxysmal positional vertigo (BPPV) is the most frequent single cause of isolated positional vertigo, accounting for nearly one-half of patients with peripheral vestibular dysfunction. Approximately 17-41 percent of patients seen in dizziness clinics and 25 percent of patients sent for vestibular testing have BPPV. Most often, BPPV can be easily diagnosed and treated with 100 percent resolution of symptoms in clinics within 1-2 treatment sessions.

This course is the third part of the 3-part series on vestibular rehabilitation. In this presentation, the focus will be understanding pathophysiology of BPPV and its variants and the application of a simple clinical algorithm to help make differential diagnosis of BPPV. Case studies will include participant participation to recognize signs and symptoms oftypical and atypical BPPV, make a diagnosis, and then prepare a treatment plan per current clinical practice guidelines. In addition, participants will learn to recognize when a patient is not presenting with BPPV and when to referout. Multiple videos will be used to demonstrate clinical assessment and treatment maneuvers of BPPV and itsvariants. This workshop is applicable to both clinicians without vestibular experience while maintaining the interestand expanding the clinical skills of the more experienced vestibular rehabilitation clinician.
